Damn, that thing could do with a mop or a lick of paint.

Mine looked like that but was re shelled a few months before the FTTC cab was installed.

Went and had a look at the weekend, and the Streetview image is out of date. At some point recently the doors on the cabinet have been replaced with something that looks brand new (or at least freshly painted) and has a nice shiny number one sticker on it. The rest of the cabinet however did not get any attention. The other two cabinets in Tayport have also acquired very new looking stickers denoting what cabinet number they are. At least the stickers are not present in the Streetview images.

One issue I suspect is that older cabinets are painted with a lead based paint which presents all sorts of health and safety issues for repainting them.

Yes I think it is.

It isnt very big but the single door looks distinctly difficult - looks as if it hangs at the top.

There is a number of them spread about in this 1980s - 1990s development.

" looks as if it hangs at the top."

Nope the whole door comes off so lots of room and light to work with.Can be a bit of a pain to put back on but no biggy.
